Cannonball Comics #2

In "The Case of the Color-Blind Confessions," Copyboy Rusty Adams stumbles into a mystery when a desperate young woman seeks help for her brother, claiming he’s confessed to a crime he didn’t commit—despite being color-blind, a detail that makes the confession suspicious. Written by an unknown hand and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story unfolds with quiet tension as Rusty navigates lies, perception, and the blurred lines between truth and what someone *says* they saw.

In "null," a quiet 1945 tale from Cannonball Comics #2, Ted struggles with self-doubt—especially on the baseball field. When his friend Lizzie takes him to her uncle, a mysterious magician, Ted is led to believe he’s gained an uncanny ability over the ball. The story unfolds with gentle wonder, exploring how belief, even if misplaced, can shift a boy’s sense of himself.

In "The Mystery of the Modern Midas," Jonathan Jones and Kewpie are sent west to collect gold from a mine owned by Hal Peters—easy money, at first. But when they take on a side job to track down a missing mine inspector, Peters grows strangely urgent for them to leave town, hinting at secrets buried beneath the surface.
